CDS News:

The new M&G Attack Bass Stick is now in stock. The shaft is made from 100% pure maple and is similar in look and feel to that of a snare stick. This stick's head is slightly heavier than most others on the market, with the weight and feel contributing to its superior attack and warm tone. Available in white or black.

The Hugh Cameron Practice Pad has three different feels from soft to hard. For information on the differences between each please click here.

History

Cameron's Drumming Studio started in 1974
when Hugh Cameron left a full-time job and
began teaching pipe band drumming.

While
teaching, Hugh found it difficult to supply
students with good quality sticks and pads
which led to the development and manufacture
of Cameron Drum Pads and Cameron Snare Sticks
(Pro1, Slim Pro and Cadet), which are popular
to this day.

Drums and accessories
were added to the product line until we were
able to offer a full range of products for
pipe band drummers that include most major
and small manufacturers throughout the world.

Hugh Cameron has been a professional drumming
instructor for over 30 years. He has
taught throughout North America and has developed
a thorough teaching method for drummers of
all ages and abilities.

He has over
20 years experience in grade one pipe bands
as well as having won most solo drumming
titles in Ontario including 3 consecutive
Champion Supreme Awards for professional
solo drumming.

Hugh has achieved an
advanced certificate in pipe band drumming
from the Royal Scottish Pipe Band Association. From
1974 to 1986, he was a student of the late
Alex Duthart and later played under Alex
Duthart's son Drew with the Toronto Police
Pipe Band. Hugh is a member of the
Music Board for the Pipers and Pipe Band
Society of Ontario.
